Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all keeping well.

I used to have a Mercedes S600 w221 model and I done an AMG facelift conversion to that car apart from the headlamps and everything just bolted on.

I regretted selling the car and now I’ve just bought another pre facelift S class but this one is a genuine AMG model.

I’m thinking of doing a facelift conversion to this car too but the adverts that sell the facelift AMG bumpers say that they are not for an AMG model?

I thought all the S classes are the same and the AMG bumpers should just bolt straight on like they did on my old S600?

Are genuine AMG cars different?

Also my new ( to me ) car has parking sensors but they are hidden behind the bumpers. The facelift AMG bumpers have the parking sensors exposed. Will I be able to use the original sensors that my car currently has or are they different?
I haven’t taken the bumpers off to see what the sensor look like.

Any help/advice would be appreciated

This was my S600 and I would like to get the new car to look the same

Has no one done a facelift conversion to their S63AMG - S65AMG?

OP with how facelift cars have deprecated... Buy a facelift S-65 and be done with it!

Sam87

I've already bought a pre facelift one and here in the UK the facelift models don't come up that often that's why I was thinking of doing a conversion on mine but now I have decided to leave it as it is.

Good choice.... doing a facelift will be the death of a thousand cuts without a complete donor car!

@Sam87 , these wheels look great on your old car. What is the model number? 20"? Do you recall the specs? Are they staggered or square?

Thanks!

Hi
Thanks, they are my fav wheels for the S class that's why I wanted to get the same ones again.
The specs are - Size: 10J x 21 H2 ET 46 - Part number: A16640114007X21

You have 2 very nice cars my friend! By the condition of the exterior, I was quite surprised to see that corrosion of the those pipes.

Thank you!
This S600 has been sold. I don't own this car anymore. I have an S65AMG and an S63AMG now

I think it's the reflection in the pic because those exhaust tips were new and they were shinny in and out. Here is a better pic
